    Notes: MASH THE POTATOES BY HAND - using a mix for this will result in a culinary horror! Think of these as potato tortillas, if you can't relate to the roots. I remember fondly using the biggest iron skilled we had (I think it was a Wagner #12) to do the job. There are varying theories on garnishing lokshi, some are purists, some do butter and carraway seeds, others prefer chopped green onion and sour cream, still others use caramelized onion and butter. Try them and find what works best for you.
